List of Equipment - Attachment 1.docx

This document is a Notice of Intent for an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to be awarded by the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center (NIH CC) to BD Biosciences on a sole source basis. The contract is for the lease of a BD FACSLyric 3L10C flow cytometry instrument package, inclusive of proprietary reagents, consumables, and preventative and corrective maintenance services. The NIH CC requires this comprehensive system, as the proprietary reagents are necessary to produce the complete testing results needed for the Clinical Center's patient protocols, and cannot be sourced from any other supplier. The Period of Performance will be one base year with four one-year option periods. The document includes two attachments listing the required equipment and supplies, with quantities. As an IDIQ contract, the exact quantities of supplies cannot be estimated at time of award. The NAICS code is 334516 - Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing, with a large business size standard of 1,000 employees. Interested parties may submit capability statements by the due date for the government's consideration in determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
